Adolescent Psychiatry

Adolescent psychiatry is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health issues in teenagers, typically aged 12 to 18. This field addresses a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and developmental disorders. Adolescent psychiatrists work to understand the unique challenges faced by young people, considering factors like developmental changes, family dynamics, and social pressures. They utilize various treatment methods, including therapy, medication, and support for families, aiming to help adolescents navigate their emotional and psychological challenges to promote healthy development and well-being.
